Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.
